    Super friendly staff. Samples were cheerfully given with patience. Kids liked the avocado, cantaloupe, and grasshopper samples. But they ended up with the cherry flavor. The Not Dot Cake is velvet cake with soft serve and sprinkles. My mom liked her coffee ice cream in a chocolate waffle cone. Nice tables and chairs and a mechanic horse kids can ride. They also had a hand drawn coloring page for July for kids to take.

    Revisited Edition: On a San Francisco hot Summer but it's Autumn stroll on Clement street there are lots of good places to grab food. There is a place on Clement street which is a nostalgic place which different generations of San Franciscans have enjoyed deserts since 1982 . This place is mostly an ice cream parlor which also has lots of toys displayed all over the store with vintage stars of the past decades along with modern day toys characters. Feels like you stepped inside a toy store. Toy Boat by Jane serves different types of ice cream and desserts. They also have different flavors of ice cream. I had the Ube ice cream and it was delicious . It was not too sweet and a bit creamy. I then tried the Vanilla Mango Tango Tangerine ice cream. It was a bit tarty ( not tardy ) and almost more sour than sweet. It was different than most ice cream flavors I have tried. This place has many flavors of ice cream and I will be back to enjoy it all four seasons rain or shine. Come inside Toy Boat by Jane because literally it has lots of character. Go to a place where they sugar "coat "everything from mango ice cream to vegan ice cream with "oat "they also sell sundaes and banana splits and a cherry coke" float " but they have all kinds of dessert treats and coffee you will find at Toy "Boat" Try the soy ice cream with "cherry "and some ice cream with "strawberry" and some with oat and some with "dairy "and cake with "blueberry "

    If you've just eaten at one of the many restaurants on Clement and are looking for dessert, this place has you covered. It's a popular spot with a vintage feel and is decorated with all kinds of fun posters and toys. You can find ice cream, baked goods and candy here. They have a nice selection of ice cream flavors to choose from and the workers will gladly let you sample them. I settled on the lychee flavor which was unique and refreshing. Their single scoop ($5.75) seemed a bit small to me considering they call it a large scoop, but it was enough to satisfy. This is a cute local spot to visit when you're in the mood for something sweet.

    This is a cool spot for ice cream and desserts, offering both Double Rainbow and Mitchell's Ice Cream flavors along with various pastries, including lots of giant cookies in the display case. Got the green mint chip and ultra chocolate ice cream in a cup, small scoops, but it was 6 bucks for a double scoop, so it's all good. They had more unique flavors available too, like "oatsa goody" (oatmilk vanilla, chocolate chips, and peanut butter). They also sell bottled beverages like yoohoo, bubble up, mountain valley spring water, as well as coke and diet coke in vintage classic coca cola bottles. The place was fairly dead around 6:00pm, with three different workers offering to help me. But then 20-25 minutes later the place was packed (it's a small space, so it doesn't take much). The atmosphere is colorful and inviting. Playful decor, movie posters on the wall for films like Pink Panther and Star Wars, toys, action figures, pez candy dispensers, even a coin-operated mechanical horse ride for kids smack in the center of the dessert cafe. I enjoyed my sweet treat in this carefree setting and was pleased with my overall experience.

    tried the viral dot cake and you choose between chocolate, red velvet or vanilla strawberry cake but with a twist- soft serve as well (vanilla chocolate or swirl)! fun take on dot cake and the store itself is super fun and lots of sweet treats to choose from! friendly staff as well :)

    As soon as you walk in, you feel like you have been transported decades back! It definitely has that retro feel, with even a play horse in the middle with additional toys. They had a mix of classic flavors and trending ones, so they can cater to everyone. They allowed for many samples, so I ended up try a bunch without shame. 4.5/5 Cookies and Cream was the best one I tried. I actually liked that it wasn't overly sweet, but as you had more you could tell that it still got the sugar. Definitely on the creamy side, but did enjoy it. A lot of their other flavors felt too sweet for me, but honestly that's what I would expect from a place serving classic ice cream. Definitely better than getting it from a Baskin Robbins! Great spot if you are in the area.

    This place is awesome the staff always give generous scoops that make it totally worth the price. Inside is cute especially for kids. Grasshopper pie is the best flavor by far!

    OG horse lol

    Here again. Still 5 stars. Wish they had more clearly labeled vegan flavors tonight. Lots of seating but very sticky tables lol. Also wished they wiped them down. I know they are always busy, but a 2 min run around the front to wipe them down would make a huge difference for customers. Still, our family has way too many great memories over the years here to give it less than 5 stars. Mostly for nostalgia these days lol. Also, it really is so cute in here. Prices are still really fair, love that.

    Cute little shop! Great for a quick ice cream bite after a dinner in the area. Open also a little later which is nice. Got one of their chocolate flavors and coffee. The coffee was actually the best! Highly recommend

    I definitely recommend this place. They switch up their ice creams every week and they also have seasonal flavors, which is really cool. They are a locally owned business so it's very cool supporting them. They also have a Vietnamese restaurant next-door and also a plant nursery place right next to that place. The service here is very amazing. They always check up on you and make sure that you get to sample the ice creams. The ambience here is very amazing as well. There's a little toy horse that you can put quarters in like when we were kids and I believe it runs for about three minutes

    Unity - 3 stars. This had too much going on! The corn bread was dominant, but also the most unusual flavor. Tue afternoon 2024-07-16

    Cute ice cream shop! Lots of vintage toys on display. Apparently there used to be one of those coin-operated horses in the middle of the store, but that's gone now. * Unity (cheesecake, corn bread blueberries, strawberries) - 3 stars. I was too curious not to sample this, but this had too much going on! The corn bread was dominant, but also the most unusual flavor. * Pistachio - 3 stars, not the most authentic flavor, but good. * Lychee - 3.5 stars, pretty refreshing and tasty!

    Outside - so cute

    Wow this place is super cute and everyone there was so nice. I got overwhelmed with all the ice cream choices and the person behind the counter was patient. I saw the chocolate Carmel crunch and I was hooked. Ice cream was super tasty and a decent price for the portions They also give whipped cream cups for pups so we got one of those and kept everyone entertained ! Cute seating inside - we just stood outside Would definitely return

We walked into a space that feels designed for groups, with plenty of seating and a menu built around shareable desserts. The interior has a contemporary, stylish feel with comfortable seating arrangements that accommodate both small groups and larger parties, making it the type of place where you can come after dinner and spend time trying a few different things instead of just ordering one dessert. The energy is lively and social, with groups gathered around large dessert plates and the hum of conversation filling the room. The bingsu is the main attraction here, especially the mango sticky rice bingsu and volcano-style creations. We ordered the mango sticky rice version and found the shaved ice had that soft, fluffy texture that melts quickly, creating a light, refreshing base that absorbs the toppings well. The combination of sweet mango, coconut rice, and the fine ice created a nice balance of fruity sweetness and the familiar coconut flavor, and the toppings were generous enough that each bite felt complete. The volcano-style creations add a dramatic presentation, with toppings cascading over the ice and creating layers of texture and flavor that make the dessert feel more like an experience than just a bowl of ice. The crepe cakes are also worth trying, with lighter layers that make them easier to enjoy without feeling overly heavy, and the matcha and strawberry flavors stood out for their clean, well-balanced profiles. The portions are definitely on the larger side, so this is a better place to share. We found that splitting a few desserts across the table allowed us to try more of the menu without overcommitting, and the variety of options from bingsu to honey toast and lava-style desserts meant there was something for everyone. The honey toast is a fun choice if you want something warm and more indulgent, with a crisp exterior and a soft, buttery interior that pairs well with the ice cream and toppings. Some desserts can feel a little expensive depending on what you order, but the presentation and variety make it more of a dessert outing than a quick snack, and the quality of the ingredients is noticeable across the board. Service can be a little slower when it gets busy, especially later at night when the shop fills up, but the staff are generally friendly and the atmosphere makes it easy to wait. We noticed the team handling the steady flow with efficiency, and the pacing of the meal stayed comfortable even when the restaurant was full. The energy of the room remains social and relaxed, and the staff checked in at the right moments without rushing us through the meal. U:Dessert Story is a solid spot for creative Asian desserts, especially if you are going with friends and want to try a few different flavors together. The combination of shareable portions, thoughtful presentation, and a lively atmosphere makes it a destination for a more social dessert experience, offering a meal that feels both indulgent and communal. The variety across the menu gives you room to explore different styles on repeat visits, and the quality of the desserts keeps the experience feeling intentional and satisfying.

I'm always hunting for spots like this because I have a weakness for those over-the-top, Instagram-worthy desserts that look like diabetes in a dish. Like most places in this genre, A Buttercup is small, modern, and minimalist with limited seating. If you plan to go, aim for off-hours unless you enjoy waiting in line for sugar. The decor is cute and trendy, perfect for photos if that's part of your dessert ritual. As they say, "you eat with your eyes first," and when it comes to presentation, this place definitely gets an A+. The desserts look stunning and set high expectations. Unfortunately, that's where things started to crumble. It's like going to see your favorite artist live. You've watched the videos, memorized the songs, and paid for the experience. But instead of the electric performance you imagined, you get someone lip-syncing and barely connecting with the crowd. That was this place in dessert form. We ordered the Mango Bingsoo on our first visit, and when it arrived, we were surprised by how small the portion was. The guy next to us even looked over and said, "Whatever that is, I'm getting that next time." He shouldn't have. The Bingsoo looked great but was bland, and the "snow" was more chunky ice than soft shave. The Thai Tea Roti was also not what I expected. It came with Thai tea ice cream and sauce alongside a roti that was fried to a crunch. Interesting idea, just not the best execution. The sauce and ice cream needed a stronger Thai tea flavor to balance the crispy roti, and the flavors never quite came together. Overall, A Buttercup nails the aesthetics but misses the flavor. If you're here for the photos, you'll be happy. If you're here for the taste, you'll leave with a full camera roll and an unsatisfied sweet tooth.

We were given water glasses and a pitcher and then left to look at the menu for a moment. The place was quite busy but it wasn't long before they came back to us.

The mooncakes are soft, smooth, delicate, and packed with flavorful mixed nuts, salty egg yolk, and winter melon, all wrapped in a soft, golden-brown crust. Every bite is heavenly! My personal favorite is #3 Ham Mixed Nuts. It's tender, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. For the best experience, enjoy them while they're still warm--fresh out of the oven, they're even better! Cash only No seating inside No regular entrance--orders and pickups are done through the outside metal sliding gate. And be careful not to stick your face too close...you never know when that gate might come sliding toward you! If you're a mooncake lover, Golden Gate Bakery is definitely a must-visit in SF Chinatown. We highly recommend the mooncakes, but unfortunately, we can't give 5 stars because of the hostile customer-service environment.
